Firefox should concentrate on its biggest asset, ability to customize natively. For example I would like option to customize right click so when i right click term i would like to have ability to search by all search engines that i want to use not only default.Also most annoying thing in both browsers is not having ability to copy link as text not only its address.

You can copy links as text (at least in Chrome): just right-click and choose "Copy".

  It's weird, I remember a similar option being there, but it's not (neither in Firefox nor Chrome) http://imgur.com/a/ncvyt http://imgur.com/a/ncvyt

      It makes extra sense to have it on touch-only platforms, where selecting text is more difficult (and long-pressing a link doesn't initiate text selection).

      Doesn't work unless you select the text for me.

        On a mid-2014 Macbook Pro, I'm having a hard time right-clicking without selecting the text using the touchpad. I think its automatic. How are you doing it?

        I am using right click with a magic mouse on an early 2011-mbp. FWIW I just tried it on my touchpad without selecting anything and it doesn't show that copy option in the context menu. It is possible that it's a setting somewhere.

  Yes, you can copy text of link if you select all link text but why not just by right clicking link.

  Also in Firefox: CoLT (Copy Link Text) https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/colt/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/colt/ You can customize it to copy in different syntaxes; for example you can have it copy in Wikimedia link syntax.

  If by default Firefox has multiple engines than by default i should be able to use it with right click on text.

  Context Search is actually worse than default because i don't want to add one more click to access default search engine search i want to stay as it is and below that add wikipedia and WolphramAlpha engines.

Agreed. Firefox has two advantages: it's customizable, and it's not made by a major tech company. If the customization goes, then there's only one advantage left.
